District staff: clinic conversion on schedule; sewer work to be completed before May turnover
Summary
Jacksonville North Pulaski staff reported that the district's clinic conversion and building turnover are on schedule for inspections in late May and patient services in June; sewer excavation and piping remain incomplete for a wing of the building.
District facilities staff told the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District board that conversion work on a former school building into a clinic is proceeding and remains on track for a late-May turnover to the clinic operator and expected patient services in June.
A facilities update said crews are finishing interior work and will hand the “clinic itself” over to the operator this week so the operator can move furniture and staff next week. The report noted that the sewer line work remains only partially complete: crews have excavated a short run and still need to finish about one classroom's width of trench plus a sidewalk approach to a manhole before final pipe installation. Staff said that the portion of sewer pipe installed will serve approximately half the building (the cafeteria area) so the clinic can open while the district later finishes the remaining half.
The update included photos and a full report circulated to board members; the presenter said the district expects to be ready for building inspections around May 21, with patient services potentially beginning in June.
Discussion and next steps: Board members asked whether the sewer work as configured would support future expansion; staff replied the sewer installed near the cafeteria will only serve part of the building and the district would need to complete the remaining line to support full-building expansion. Facilities staff said they expect to finish the remaining pipe and that the schedule is tracking for the inspection and turnover dates the district shared.
Ending: The district will complete remaining trenching and piping work, proceed with required inspections and coordinate the clinic’s move-in and early operations over the next month.
